Honours

An Honours year is an exciting and rewarding experience which encourages independent learning and research. It is the main pathway to a career in research, and can also open up many possibilities in industry not available to graduates with a pass degree. It provides the opportunity to pursue your studies at a more advanced level, some students report that they learn as much in the Honours year as in the three previous years combined. A research project forms the basis of the year, and for many people it is a much richer learning experience.
